To all whom t may aendern.

Be it known that ARTHUR LEONARD TVVHEELDON, a subject of the King of Great Britain, residing at London, England, has invented cert-ain new and useinl Improvements in Figure Wheeled Toys, of which the following is a specification.

i he object of this invention is to construct a toy so that a doll, Teddy'bear, or other like puppet or elligy is combined with a wheeled vehicle or the like so as to give the appearance of the puppet or the like riding a scooter or like appliance.

For 'the purpose of this invention a wheeled or other vehicle is constructed preterably troni wire7 the front of which may be provided with steeringiwheels or such vehicle may be provided with runnersto form a sledge or coaster.

The Teddy bear or the like is provided with a clip or clips at the part to which it is to be connected to the vehicle or to an `axle thereon so that it can be easily attached and removed therefrom.

The liront of the vehicle has a rod pivotally connected to it which rod at its other end is connected pivotally or by a catch de vice. to seine part of the rIeddy bear or the like so that such Teddy bear is held iirmly on the vehicle. rI'he whole toy is movable about on its wheels and can be drawn along by a child by a piece of string attached to the vehicle.

The puppet can be made in almost any position, say standing, sitting7 kneeling or otherwise.

My invention is shown in simple form on the annexed drawings in which- Figure l is a perspective elevation of a complete device ready for being moved bout Figure 2 is a similar view with the vehicle positioned ready 'For packing.

Figure 3 is a view ot one el the showing a clip attached thereto.

.Figure Zl is a perspective elevation of a iframe in whiclrthe axle is cranked and to which crank the 'puppet is connected.

Figure 5 is a perspective elevation of the front portion of the vehicle showing the front axle cranked to which crank the rod is connected.

The `frame A of the vehicle is made of wire of oblong shape having curled portions B on the narrow sides to receiveaxles C Ytectt u d Serial No. 372,924.

carrying on their'ends wheels D the axles C being kept in position by rings E secured thereto.

To the front a rod F is hinged.

A Teddy bear G is constructed with the front paws l-I and arms I extended and the front paws IPI are connected by a bar J to which the tree end ot the rod F ot' the framework A is loosely but permanently connected.

One or both feet K of the Teddy bear G is provided with spring clips L which can be pressed over the rear member of the trame A or on to the rear axle thereof and with the `leased from the frame A, of the vehicle or crank M of the axle and the frame A folded up to become positioned between the Teddy bear G and the rod F as at Figure 2 so that the whole is reduced to a much smaller compass.

`What I do claim as my invention and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

LA toy consisting et a wheeled vehicle having a frame and a rod pivotally coniected thereto7 an axle for certain of the wheels having a crankthereon, a figure permanently connected to'lthe rod` and clips at one end oi the ligure for temporary connection to the crank or trame, whereby the iigure may be placed in any one o'l a number of positions.

2. toy consisting ot a wheeled vehicle having a rod pivotally connected thereto, and an axle provided with a era-nin a ligure permanently connected to the rod` and posi tioning clips on the ligure for temporary connection to said crank or tosome other part of the vehicle.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand in presence of two subscribing witnesses.
